Christmas Eve Night

I've another Christmas card today - made entirely with snippets.

I die cut the Christmas Eve scene from dark blue pearlescent card and attached it to a snippet of pink and blue paper. I trimmed the paper around the edge of the die before attaching it to the card blank.  I then die cut the moon from a snippet of gold pearlescent card and inlaid it into the scene.

To make this card I used:
     5.25" x 4.25" white matt card blank
     Cottage Cutz 'Christmas Eve Night' die
     Snippets of dark blue and gold pearlescent card, Funky Fossil 'In To The Blue' paper

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

I love this Christmas scene die - it's also perfect for making quick snippets cards.

I die cut the scene from white hammer card before layering it onto a snippet of dark blue snowflake paper and trimming around the edge.  This was layered onto dark blue mirri card and attached to the centre of the card blank.  I used a couple of teeny snippets of gold pearlescent card to die cut the moon (the snippets were so small I had to cut it in two pieces!) and these were inlaid into the card.

To make this card I used:
     5.5" x 4.25" white hammer card blank
     Cottage Cutz 'Christmas Eve Night' die
     Snippets of white hammer, dark blue mirri and gold pearlescent card, dark blue snowflake paper

Winter Wonderland Border

I've almost finished tidying my craft area which means that my box of snippets and assorted toppers has grown, so today's cards are all made with snippets and oddments.

This card uses snippets of blue and gold pearlescent card and a snippet of paper that I think was from Making Cards magazine.  I trimmed the paper and attached it to the card front with the darker area at the top.  I die cut the border from blue pearlescent card and attached it to the lower edge of the paper.  I then die cut the windows from gold card and inlaid them into the buildings.  The die cut sentiment was one from my snippets box so that was ready to attach to the top of the card.

To make this card I used:
     6" x 4" white matt tent fold card blank
     Cottage Cutz Scrapping Cottage 'Winter Wonderland Border' and Creative Expressions 'Festive Mini Expressions - Stacked Happy Christmas' dies
     Snippets of dark blue and gold pearlescent card, blue snow paper
